Eight for me. I recall that the French people who had the nous around their necks were put into these fields for burial. The first burials allowed for each grave to have an enormous amount of land surrounding it, but as the war progressed and more an more were executed, the fields had to be subdivided and became smaller and smaller until the final bodies were buried standing up. Oh, the horrors of war!

I may prove myself to be another part of a horse's anatomy, but I'll take two.
Member I'll take #5, please.
Member #3 for me, please.
Member No idea. I'll try 5.
Member Any more guesses? I see Stella is missing from those who provided daffynitions. You don't have to have sent in a daffynition first, though!

Member Sorry, Arnie. It's, you know, Christmas.
I haven't got a clue either so I'll stick with #6. Thanks.

Is this a record? Three of our daffynitions fooled two people.
Member Thanks, Asa. It was a combination of
luck intuition and
guesswork deductive reasoning.
Member Dang. And I thought mine was so good!
Member Maybe they balter when they stick together in Kiwiland?
